The Missouri Department of Economic Development (DED) has approved Enhanced Enterprise Zone Program designations for North St. Louis County and Central St. Louis County. The designation will allow the entities to continue to move forward in economic-development efforts.
“We take great pride in our work to help Missouri communities enhance opportunities for their citizens,” DED Director Greg Steinhoff said. “This designation will make North and Central St. Louis County eligible for state assistance to attract and retain jobs.”
Zone designation is based on certain demographic criteria, the potential to create sustainable jobs in a targeted industry and a demonstrated impact on local cluster development.
